Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars (Quest)

[MyVTECGoesBwaaah]

If Yianni putting some film on a car doesn't tickle your fancy, Quest have a new car related show starting this week. It features Drew Pritchard (From the normal Salvage Hunters series, funnily enough!) and classic cars, presumably following a similar format.

As title, it starts this week (Today!) and continues each Wednesday at 9. I am fairly sure I read somewhere it is only a short series to test the water, but can't find confirmation of that.

Even though there are some obvious flaws, I thought it was quite good - One of the better offerings of recent times. Wasn't expecting much insight into the restoration, so that was nice.

Will definitely tune in next week.

On the plus side, I enjoyed the dashboard restoration bit and the metal work place had some interesting cars in there.

Still trying to work out the origins of that 340 (or was it a 240?)

California car?
If so, obviously converted to RHD, but the dash would have been replaced at that point, so, original sun destroyed wood veneer...?
Surely, if original RHD, then it wasn't a California car, but from Aus/NZ or more likely South Africa...?

Whatever it was to being with, they ruined it.

I think it was the seller that said it started off in the UK then to California then back to the UK. The car was originally sold to a business owner who later moved out to the states, so they have done 2 + 2 and think he took the car with him.
